Merry xmas! - Sun Dec 19th 16:48:27 EST 2004

Preview etc - Wed Jun 30th 15:52:04 EST 2004
Hello everyone...

Just thought I would post a quick msg and mention that I have added another unit, namely the Wide-Boy64 AGB Debug version (I call it that for lack of a better name).
I have also added a thumbnail-pic of an NPDP-Cartridge.

Also received some other new stuff this week:

7 AGB flash carts
1 NPDP-Cartridge
1 Wide-Boy64 AGB Debug
1 NU64 Flash Gang Writer
etc

Finally added some SNES stuff! - Fri Jun 25th 15:13:30 EST 2004
Sorry about the delay in adding the SNES development units I mentioned the other week. I havent added much though...just the 200x150pixel thumbnails for the following (hey, at least its progress!):

SNASM 68k Adaptor
SNASM 68k Console Interface
SNES Debug Cart?
SNES 4Mbit System [AKA: RAMBOY & FATBOY ?]
SNES 8Mbit System [AKA: RAMBOY & FATBOY ?]

If you have any information about any of these units, please mail me. They appear to have been made by [Richard C.] Argonaut 13 years ago...

another update coming... - Sat Jun 5th 08:17:17 EST 2004
woot...its June already!

I have a lot of new SNES dev stuff that I will try to get pics of onto the site as soon as possible...

I am thankful that some people have mailed me with pictures of units but please(!!!!!) do not send pictures copied from official docs or from other places that you do not have permission to use. Such e-mails will not be replied to and the pictures will not be used on this site.

oh yes.. - Sat Mar 20th 12:40:13 EST 2004
oh yes...if you noticed I wanted to trade/sell a few spare dev units I had...well...youre too late; they are already gone =)

added more images - Sat Mar 20th 12:39:13 EST 2004
Today I have added images of:
AGB 128mbit Flash Card
AGB 64mbit Flash Card
AGB Flash Gang Writer
AGB TS2 Dev Board
IS-WIDEBOY-AGB

of course...most of these are just old pictures that Im adding to the database...heh =)

added images - Fri Mar 19th 19:33:25 EST 2004
I have been busy adding images today (not taken any new ones - my camera is still dodgy):
Bung 64mbit Flash Card
Bung GB Xchanger
DMG Flash Gang Writer
DMG-MBC5-32M-FLASH
Wideboy64

questions - Fri Mar 12th 12:01:58 EST 2004
Some of you have asked me which units exactly that are mine.
It's quite easy to see this actually. I take photos of all my stuff on the same desk every time, so if you see a light wood desk and white-gray'ish wallpaper on the wall you can be pretty sure its mine. Oh, and hehe, as I have gotten some dirt inside of my camera you might also see dark spots on my more recent photos. Ill try to fix it this weekend...

Also, before you decide to steal any images from this site, please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page. If you really "need" to use images from this site, please mail me and ask first. I am not an impossible person to work with so if I just know where you plan on using the photo I will most likely give you permission to use it.

Think thats it! And remember you are always more than welcome to send me mails with suggestions, if you have information about a perticular unit or even if you want to sell me something (Nintendo development related items only please - no viagra!)

Speaking of which...you can also mail me if you are interested in trading any Nintendo development units for some of these (I will consider selling them but I do prefer to trade):
Partner-N64 kit (complete in good condition)
Partner-N64 cable+cart
SN64 RAM cart
Wideboy64

'New' site online - Fri Mar 12th 11:45:52 EST 2004
As it turns out I have not had as much time as I would have wanted to work on the site. Since I said in my last post that the 'new' site would be online in a month I guess I should just put up what is ready.

I have aquired a few new items so here's some of the new stuff that you can have a look at:

DMG Flash gang writer
DMG-MBC5-32M-FLASH (gbc flash carts)
IS-CGB-CHARACTER
Wide-Boy64 CGB
Wide-Boy64 CGB unit
IS-VIEWER64
N64 SRAM Cartridge
NU64 Flash Rom Gang Writer
Dolphin Controller Test (an early prototype of the gamecube controller - not really development related)
GameCube NR Discs
Prototype GameCube EXI ROM (not really development related)

err yeah.....heh the wife wouldnt be happy if she knew! (dont tell her for gods sake or this will be the last you'll hear of me!)

I have also added some other stuff that isnt mine:
N64 Sound Tool
Some unknown famicom/NES stuff :P

php+mysql! - Sat Feb 7th 06:58:21 EST 2004
Ok, it might seem like no work is being done on the site but actually a lot has been going on. I have converted the whole site into using PHP and a MySQL database for storing both the news and all the different units. I have also begun gathering more information so soon all the units will at least have a small description. I have also redesigned the site a bit. This 'new' version of the site running on php+mysql is not the one you are looking at now. You are still seeing the old static pages etc. I will not update the static pages any more and I will not let people access the new site until I am happy with it. At the rate I am working on it, it should not take more than a month to get it finished! I have also aquired some new very interesting stuff that I'm sure you will enjoy reading about ;) Keep checking back....

more stuff! - Tue Oct 28th 15:39:00 EST 2003
Oh dear! another month and a half since the last update. But not to fear, Shiggsy is here! erm... Some of you mailed about the last update, the EAD cart. Quite a rarity actually, straight from my friends at NOJ. As you suspected it is indeed an early N64 flash cart and quite a nice one at that. Erm, let see what more stuff I have been able to dig up since the last post (capture unit not mine):

Also got some other less interesting stuff. but anyways, now I have my work cut out for me. Please mail if there is anything you would like to know more about or just comments in general.

Please remember that I am always on the look out for any Nintendo Development units/kits/hardware, so if you have any, give me a mail. Anonymity guaranteed.

EAD cart and more - Wed Sep 10th 11:08:00 EST 2003
w00t. No update for 2 months. shame on me :P
I havent been completely idle though and I was actually taking pics of some stuff today. Unfortunately all the pics came out very dark so I will have to fix better lights and try again =) Here is a teaser though:

yep - the update - Sat Jul 5th 10:18:00 EST 2003
As I said in the last post, I did update the site a bit. I forgot to update the main page though =) What was updated?
* NES WideBoy
* SNES Emulator-SE
* Nintendo AGB 128mbit flash card
* some general fixed

I also have a Wideboy64 sitting on my desk. I will go and take some pics of it and add that to the GB/GBC section this week. I will also get the pics of my partner-n64 up...Im not sure why I didnt do this earlier?

finally :=) - Tue Jul 1st 10:44:00 EST 2003
Oh dear! I havent updated in well over two months. Shame on me! :)
I have been busy the last few weeks but should have time (and new stuff) to update more during the summer. Ill post again in a few hours when I have put some stuff up...

New stuff on their way - Tue Apr 15th 08:41:00 EST 2003
Woops! unfortunately I have been very busy the last 2 weeks so havent had a chance to update. No need to worry though! I have some stuff on their way. Just waiting for the stuff to be delivered :)

More images - Fri Apr 4th 16:47:00 EST 2003
Been uploading some images today. Will keep adding them until theyre all up. Feel free to send in images of your stuff aswell. Credits will be given of course. Also, please e-mail me with suggestions on what you want to see here.

Finally - Thu Apr 3rd 19:30:00 EST 2003
Ok finally ready! The only article up is about the TS2 dev board but as I cant do it all at once... :) Im off to bed now but tomorrow I will try to get pictures of most of the units up. After that I can start collecting info and writing about them. Enjoy! Oh, and dont forget to write me! Especially if you have some nice stuff for the site! :)

Getting Ready - Thu Apr 3rd 14:17:00 EST 2003
Ok Im basicly finished with the design now. Its time to get this site up and running! All the sections are done and some units have been added. Only a few are clickable but I will work hard to get them up as soon as I can. It takes time to write about each unit but I will at least get some pictures uploaded while you wait =)

Welcome - Wed Apr 2nd 20:21:00 EST 2003
Welcome! A few days late but now we are finally up and running. sort of :p Its always good to see something happening with a site even if its nothing major :) Anywhooo...please be patient as we add more and more stuff every day. And remember, we need your help to keep this site running! If you know something that isnt mentioned here, please mail me. I dont know everything you know :P
